Additional description and context: Transcript of the State vs. Jack Ruby: Statement of Facts: Jury Trial, Volume 6.

Melvin Belli, Joe Tonahill and Phil Burleson represented the defendant, Jack Ruby; Henry Wade, Dallas County District Attorney, was the prosecutor, assisted by Jim Bowie, Bill Alexander and Frank Watts. The presiding judge was Judge Joe B. Brown.

The witnesses who appeared on this day of the trial were Ira M. Walker, Frank Johnston, Dr. Sheff Olinger, Dr. Robert Stubblefield, Dr. John T. Holbrook, Alfred H. Breniger, Dr. Peter Kelloway, Dr. A. Earl Walker, Jack Revill, Mrs. Eileen Kaminsky, Mrs. Eleanor Pitts and B. H. Combest.

Proceedings began with a "night session" meaning the jury was retired, so various motions and disputed evidence could be handled out of the sight and hearing of the jury. The judge overruled several Defense motions, including a motion for the Court to instruct the jury to dismiss the case because Jack Ruby was unable to tell right from wrong at the time of the shooting. The Defense rested. The jury was allowed back in for further testimony and examinations on rebuttal.
